Our week holiday is almost over, we have been to Zuid-Limburg (southern part of the Netherlands) for a couple of days and just before Carnival will start over there, we are back in the North.Although, a little souvenir we took back home….because in the North we also celebrate Carnival in some places.

The parcel arrived from Cata of Cata’s illustrations and crafts. She had organized a give-away on her blog and by giving a reaction you had a chance to win Domingo (“Sunday” in Spanish), a polar beer made by herself.And how lucky, I was the winner!

And so Domingo from Italy found a new home after a long journey! Cata, thank you very much for this special gift and I am so happy with the little bear!

At last some creative "excesses", of course I had to take a “holiday-craft” with me to Limburg. I saw this idea on Pati’s blog Shabby Roses Cottage and it was a nice little work to do. A mini-flag-line, so all those little parts of fabric would get a nice destination. Just to hang up or to decorate a present with.

Going away for a few days means no more flowers in the house. I recently collected some cans for an idea I saw in an interior-magazine and at (Just) Jeanette. Unfortunately I did not have some nice remains of wall-paper, but I found some pieces of cupboard-paper. I stuck it around the cans, very easy! Quickly to the supermarket at Saturday afternoon to get some nice rose flowers.Let the spring get started!

Looking for the right combinations, it keeps us busy every day! Whether it is choosing what combination of clothes we will wear today, the combination of ingredients for dinner or combining work, family and hobbies….too much to mention. In this post I only want to show some nice combinations I made last week in our house.

Like this nice match of white ranunculus, with pink accents, and a bunch of pink tulips.

This little rack I bought at the triftshop a few months ago for € 0,50. I already painted it white, but did not exactly know what to do with it, so it was waiting for better times. Yesterday I ultimately placed it in the living-room and combined it with some white decorations.

And finally this combination, inspired on the new Tilda book: Tilda's Landstet. The little birdcage I found by accident (for half the price) and together with a pink cyclama and a little hand-made bird a nice combination I think.

About Me

Hello!
My name is Bertina and I live in a little village in the north-east of Holland with my husband and two children.
I love to decorate my house with creative items, "update" and "pimp-up" furniture and other items for house and garden and arrange flowers. Inspiration I get from other blogs, books, magazines and interior-shops. Especially the Scandinavian style I like very much at the moment. I would love to share my interests in decorating house and garden with the readers of this blog.
